A Berliner's Guide to Berlin Food

what's up guys this is unknown and I sure hope you came here hungry because in this video I'm gonna introduce you to some of my favorite things and places to eat in my hometown of Berlin Germany I think I picked pretty much the worst possible day for this but that's okay as a Berliner I sure know how to handle bad weather first things first though let's start with one of my favorite types of Berlin breakfast follow me I do love this place but it's a little bit noisy so easy I'm like literally the only person who's eating outside my bad weather is not gonna stop me so this is absolutely one of the best ways to start the day for me but before I introduce all of this deliciousness to you let me mention one thing this video is sponsored by darshan GE which is a website produced in partnership with the Foreign Office of Germany and what they do is they teach people about German society culture politics everything for the past week their special topic of interest was Berlin my hometown so they reached out and asked me if I could introduce you guys to some of Berlin's finest food which is what I'm doing so what you guys can see here is actually one of turkey's most popular breakfast items but since the 1960's a lot of turkish migrants have been coming to germany by now they're just part of life in germany they're part of life in berlin for sure and they have brought delicious food new york city might have the bagel but berlin has the turkish symmetry so these simit are freshly baked every morning in fact pretty much around the clock from what it seems like they're super crispy Superfresh it's light slightly sweet a little bit salty and slightly nutty from the sesame seeds and of course they come with freshly brewed Turkish team mm-hmm I'm gonna let you in on a little secret normally I just drink my tea plain but this type of tea you just have to add some sugar that's the way your old men and men oh god is so good many men is basically if the Turkish cousin of scrambled eggs except this one is full of tomato and peppers it's a little bit spicy but if you like that kind of stuff it's gonna be a perfect breakfast option for you let me try a bite of the super tomato egg mmm oh yeah very fresh very tender - Chuck - Chuck is a little bit similar to salami but of course being a Turkish dish it is made with beef rather than pork it's really garlicky let me give it a try mm-hmm that's my dose of garlic in the morning so we've just learned how in the 1960s migrants from Turkey came to Germany and brought some of their delicious food with them let me add one thing I was talking of course about Western Germany Germany used to be a divided country and the government of former eastern Germany invited workers not from Turkey but from the socialist brother nation of Vietnam after the Berlin Wall fell in 1990 a lot of these Vietnamese workers went back to Vietnam but a lot of them also stayed behind which is the reason why we have this amazing thriving Vietnamese community in Berlin and also the reason why we have so much Vietnamese food and one of the best places to get it must eat right here I really love this place it feels like you're experiencing a little bit of Vietnam right in the middle of Berlin people come here for shopping for haircuts for Asian ingredients and of course for the food of getting really hungry and on a day like this I know exactly what to eat so let's see what we got first I'm gonna try the Hanoi style spring roll I'm seeing a meat and vegetable filling in a crispy rice paper wrapper deep fried of course served with some sweet chili sauce it looks like let me try wow wow this is even better than I thought the filling is really well balanced it's not too salty it's not too anything you can taste a lot of fresh herbs inside the meat is good quality this is how a spring roll is supposed to be check this out write it up let me check another bite mm-hmm mm-hmm but now let's move to the star of this meal the fun wow this is topped with all the good stuff with the fresh herbs the fresh onion so for my first spoon let me get a little bit of everything nice what a deep and beefy aroma well you guys Berlin has a lot of good Vietnamese food but this type of quality I'm not sure if we can get it outside of this place hmm and now with my favorite sriracha sauce oh there's no such thing as too much sriracha the bite of my dreams try some of this bro it's good right it's good I'm so glad we came here this food does not disappoint so you might have been wondering wait this is a video about Berlin food where is the do not give up where is the country boost well I already have videos about them I thought I'd introduce something a little bit more low-key a little less common to you guys but then we ended up right here because one polling station and this is where one of my favorite curry was places in all of Berlin is curry powder that's over hi Kelly Macdonald huachen data MIT Britain and Italy endowment riches thank you guys this is the classic Berlin curry boost and curry powder which must be one of the best places to do it it's super affordable you can get this for 165 only with a fresh little bun let me just shut up and try a piece No yeah this is it this is the classic Berlin flavor don't be fooled this is not ketchup this is a special Knievel sauce and each place has its own the acidity of the sauce is just what you need to cut through the rich sausage check this out big bites guys will bite of bread for balance heaven all you need maybe you want to try what is it no no it just has a little bit of the curry note that you want in a curry sausage you ready to move on let's go next station [Music] now you might have noticed that except for the curry bush just now most of the food I'm introducing in this video has some sort of international influence and there's a reason for that I think it's safe to say that Berlin is germany's most international minded city and that definitely shows in the food scene a lot of the people including me have some sort of bicultural multicultural background and even though they might have grown up here in berlin they always add a little bit of their own story into the mix and I'm not just talking I have a friend who does just that let me introduce you to him if you guys remember my kevie voice video you might remember my friend Johan who is hiding in his own kitchen this time [Music] so hello everybody say hi to my buddy Daniel Daniel Daniel this is a diner in here at sillustani service Emma should i cancel another most important valve in allah these kids could be Irish bhishan we can assure fusion kitchen I said I wish there is a wish to get Selena program arrested on a mission welcome to Korea s two twists follow the meat I'm ready mama's cooking the visa mom best know that he's been gan-chan homeless Givaudan vast consumer-facing yeah okay i can't wait to finally eat the stuff because it looks amazing so this right here my friends is the kimchi taco I ordered one with tofu so we have a little bit of a vegetarian option in this video this is in fact a fresh out of the oven baked in Berlin pita bread and then it's stuffed with kimchi salad a Middle Eastern inspired sauce and of course spicy tofu which was fried in the kimchi brine enough with the talking let's try this hmm don't hang your daughters oh nice I top this is amazing there's so much stuff just the right amount of heat just the right amount of flavor and a little bit of that funky note from the kimchi yeah well but while I can still eat let me try the kimchi Zilla fries with beef there is so much on top of these fries that I have to like really work hard to find my fries well con hot that's my life motto mmm mmm the fries are crunchy and perfect the toppings are rich rich I'm trying to find the right word here decadent just so rich and decadent that's exactly what it is I mean look at this try this is the fresh one and this is the greasy nasty amazing one and together they are the perfect combination you can ever mind appreciative of a soul like Tiffany box in the night Nets punt let's do it for the speed Cruiser seda given a stack gypsum spent work on the visuals from the triangle pop one can see the lava dolphin instant Smith [Music] honestly you guys this place might be a tiny little bit touristy but it's still food heaven no matter if you're an omnivore like me and you like some good meat you will find the best highest quality meat and if you're a vegetarian you will find some really creative and inspiring dishes to taste here as well and what I have here is a smoked short rib sandwich these guys are not fooling around I saw him prepare the sandwich that meat looked like it was
